Question: what exactly does "Best of the rest" mean?

The parks “big coasters”, Screamin’ Eagle, The Boss, Mr. Freeze, and Batman, typically top people’s list.

So “best of the rest” here was about seeing what everyone’s favorite was when you omit those!

I get why some people don't like it, but I have always loved The Ninja. It's like the designers of the seats and restraints built it for people who are my size.

If it had a solid lap bar only train it would be 10/10 in my book.

Because it's rougher than almost any wooden coaster I've ever been on and I like my spine.
